Rating: - Doesn't work with the Macbook Air (MBA)
Doesn't work with the MBA. Something to do with insufficient power supply probably. Toshiba help wasn't too useful - they have a standard reply for this by replacing the USB cable with one that has 2 heads on the computer side to increase the power. Even when I tell them that the Air only has 1 USB port, they insist to solve the problem with a 2 head USB wire. They should read customers' emails properly and reply accordingly.

I have been using this product for 2 months. Price is little above the average however it worths the premium. I bought it as a backup source for my mac. It is working perfect so far.
Rating: - Good Product!!!
I've had the external hdd for a few weeks now and its worked great. Its quiet and kept itself very cool. My only problem with it is the outside scratches easily, but its only cosmetic damage. Otherwise I will probably buy another once this one is full!
Rating: - Smaller is better
The size of this drive is great and the fact that it does not require an external power source makes it even more convenient.
Rating: - great item
So far so good...the only thing is that it is formatted in FAT 32 file system (which means that files greater than 4MB won't fit...so I had to reformat it to NTSF file system...but besides that, I haven't had any problems
